Question 1

Is QRPixel really free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QRPixel is 100% free. There are no signups, subscriptions, watermarks or hidden fees. Generate as many QR codes as you want.

Question 2

Do QR codes generated here ever expire?

Accepted Answer

No. QRPixel creates static QR codes that encode your data directly. As long as the destination (URL, email, etc.) still exists, your QR will keep working — forever.

Question 3

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. QRPixel runs entirely inside your browser. Nothing you type, upload or generate is sent to any server. Your logos and data never leave your device.

Question 4

What QR types are supported?

Accepted Answer

URL, plain Text, Phone, Email, SMS, WhatsApp, WiFi and vCard (contact card). Each type shows only the fields it needs, so you can create it in seconds.

Question 5

Can I add my logo to the QR?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload a PNG, SVG or transparent PNG and adjust its size. QRPixel automatically hides the dots behind the logo for a clean, professional look.

Question 6

Will scanning still work with a logo?

Accepted Answer

Yes — as long as you don’t make the logo too large. We recommend using High error correction (H) when embedding a logo, and keeping the logo below 30% of the QR area.

Question 7

What is error correction?

Accepted Answer

It’s the QR spec's built-in resilience. Higher levels let scanners read the code even if it’s partially damaged, obscured or covered by a logo. H is safest; L gives the smallest visual density.

Question 8

Which format should I download?

Accepted Answer

Use SVG for print and scalable design work, PNG for websites and social media, and PDF for documents. Use High Resolution PNG when printing very large (posters, banners).

Question 9

Can I print the QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click the Print button for a ready-to-print layout, or download the SVG / PDF and use it in any design tool like Figma, Illustrator or Canva.

Question 10

How big should I print my QR code?

Accepted Answer

A good rule of thumb: the QR should be at least 1/10 of the expected scanning distance. For example, if people scan from ~1m away, print at ~10cm.

Question 11

Can I customize the colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose solid colors or a gradient with any angle, plus a separate corner color and background (including transparent). Just make sure contrast stays high for reliable scans.

Question 12

Does QRPixel work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Fully. The interface is designed mobile-first and works great on phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.

Question 13

Can I copy the QR to paste into other apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the Copy Image button to place the PNG on your clipboard, or Copy Content to copy the encoded text (like the URL or WiFi string).

Question 14

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. QRPixel is a web app — just open it in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and start creating.

Question 15

Can I use QRPixel for commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Codes you generate belong to you and can be used commercially — on packaging, business cards, ads, menus, products, anywhere.

Question 16

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes (what QRPixel creates) encode data directly and never expire. Dynamic QR codes point to a redirect service and can be edited, but stop working if that service shuts down or requires a subscription.

Question 17

Can I create a WiFi QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter your network name, password, and encryption type (WPA/WEP/none). Anyone who scans it will join your WiFi automatically — no typing required.

Question 18

How does the vCard QR code work?

Accepted Answer

A vCard QR encodes your contact card (name, phone, email, company, address). Scanning it lets people save you directly to their contacts in one tap.

Question 19

Can I track scans of my QR code?

Accepted Answer

Not with static QR codes. If you need scan analytics, encode a URL that points to your own tracked landing page or a link-shortener with analytics.

Question 20

Why is my QR not scanning?

Accepted Answer

Low contrast is the usual cause. Keep the foreground much darker than the background, don't invert colors, and if you use a logo, switch error correction to H.
